Lin Xuan didn't buy it at all. He smiled and shook his head. "No! It's not safe outside right now. It's safer for you to stay at home. Don't think about sneaking out by yourself. Don't blame me for not warning you if you're kidnapped by slave traders. "
After saying that, his eyes inadvertently swept over the girl's bulging chest. He then lightly mounted his horse and galloped away.
"Damn it!"
Zhao Yanran angrily stomped her feet, her beautiful eyes flashing with flames.
She wasn't angry at Lin Xuan for refusing to take her out. Instead, she was angry at Lin Xuan for looking around and thinking nonsense before leaving. He even suspected that she had stuffed something in her chest. He was simply despicable and shameless …
At this moment, she couldn't help but secretly swear that she would work hard to cultivate in the future. Once she was strong enough, she could go wherever she wanted! She wouldn't have to look at the face of a certain big pervert anymore!
While she was indignantly thinking, she subconsciously touched the purple jade pendant on her waist.
This jade pendant was left to her by her parents. Before, when she couldn't see, she would often play with this jade pendant.
There were seven ancient and mysterious characters carved on the jade pendant. Every time her finger touched the seven characters, she would feel her spiritual power increase by a bit. Her mind would also clear up a bit. If she kept touching the jade pendant, she wouldn't have to sleep for several days without feeling the slightest bit tired.
When she could see again, she carefully observed the seven characters. She didn't expect that she would actually obtain a spiritual inheritance from one of the characters. It was an ancient wisdom inheritance called the Seven Characters Wisdom Sword Scripture.
Although she had only obtained the introductory chapter of the Seven Characters Wisdom Sword Scripture, she had already benefited a lot. In just a few days of cultivation, she had already reached the limits of a mortal. She could break out of her cocoon and become a butterfly at any time, entering the stage of a martial artist's rebirth. This greatly increased her confidence and made her yearn for martial arts even deeper …
…
Three li west of Crocodile Dragon Bay, a battle fort that occupied several hundred mu was already taking shape.
The fortress was built on a hill about a hundred meters high. Foundations were being laid on all sides. Rows of simple houses were erected on the sides. Countless craftsmen and slaves were busy working like ants. It was a bustling scene.
In an arbor on the south side of the hill, Zhao Kun and a group of subordinates were sitting around a fire, drinking and eating meat while keeping an eye on the south.
During the few days of building the battle fort, there were many troubles. Except for some slaves who tried to escape and were killed, the Wild Wolf Valley was the most troublesome.
From time to time, there would be groups of three to five ferocious wolves coming to take advantage of the situation. At the construction site, three craftsmen and more than twenty slaves had already been eaten, causing everyone to be in a panic.
Zhao Kun had no choice but to personally oversee the situation. He led more than fifty new sect members to defend the area. In just a few days, they had already killed nearly one hundred wolves.
Unfortunately, most of these wolves were Rotten Bone Wolves. Their flesh and blood contained poison, and the stench was unbearable. Only a few silverback wolves were edible.
At this moment, there was a silverback wolf weighing more than two hundred and fifty kilograms on the fire rack. It had already been roasted until it was golden brown and enticing. The aroma permeated the air. From time to time, everyone would use their daggers to cut off pieces of meat and eat heartily with wine.
"Hehe, although the meat of this silverback wolf is a little hard, it contains a lot of essence. I, Old Zhang, have been eating wolf meat for the past few days. My cultivation has increased significantly. I reckon that I will be able to break through in a few days."
A burly man with a full beard took a bite of wolf meat happily. He then grabbed the wine pot and took a big gulp.
"Haha, I'm about the same! Looks like if I live in this Big River Castle in the future, I will definitely have plenty of ferocious beast meat! "Another burly man laughed.
To many low-level martial artists, being able to eat ferocious beast meat for every meal was considered a good benefit.
Zhao Kun glanced at everyone indifferently and said, "Eating and drinking is one thing, but all of you better be alert. If anything goes wrong, don't blame me for being impolite."
"Brother Kun, don't worry. We are all watching carefully!"
"That's right, that's right!"
Zhao Kun's cultivation was at the peak of Level Five Spiritual Physique. He was worthy of being the second most powerful martial artist in the River Sect. In addition to his fierce reputation as the Mad Kun, it was enough to suppress these old hooligans in Fish Dragon Town. Sometimes, his reputation was even more effective than Lin Xuan's. Of course, this was also because Lin Xuan rarely showed himself.
At this moment, a group of armed soldiers suddenly came from the north of the construction site, causing a commotion.
"What's going on?" Zhao Kun raised his eyebrows.
A sect member ran over and said in a panic, "Brother Kun! Not good! The Longbow Unit is here. They said that this piece of land has been expropriated by them. They want us to stop work immediately and withdraw everyone! "
"Hmm?" Zhao Kun's expression was a little ugly. "Let's go and take a look!"
He led dozens of subordinates over and saw a total of ten soldiers. All of them were wearing tough armor, holding sabers and shields, and carrying longbows on their backs. They were filled with murderous intent.
The surrounding craftsmen and slaves were already kneeling on the ground. They were all trembling like quails and sweating profusely.
The leader was a one-eyed veteran. He had a cruel sneer on his lips as he lightly shook off the blood on his saber. At his feet, a craftsman had already been stabbed in the chest. He was spasming and spitting blood. It seemed that he would not survive.
"Stop! What are you doing? "Zhao Kun asked angrily.
"Hey, Zhao Kun, are you the manager here?" The veteran recognized Zhao Kun and asked with a sneer.
"That's right!" Zhao Kun frowned as a hint of fear flashed in his eyes. He said, "Sir Li, what do you mean by this?"
Fish Dragon Town was not big, but all the famous martial artists would more or less know each other.
The one-eyed veteran was called Li Sheng, also known as "Bone Crusher". He was at Level Five Spiritual Physique and was an outer sect disciple of the Bamboo Sword Sect. He was also one of the top figures in the Longbow Unit.
"Hehe, Zhao Kun, looks like you're doing well after joining a new master!"
Li Sheng laughed mockingly. Soon after, his face turned cold as he said in an overbearing manner, "However, this place already belongs to our Longbow Unit. I'll give you an hour to evacuate everyone. Anyone who violates this rule will be killed without mercy!"
Zhao Kun's face darkened as he asked, "Sir Li, I want to see the approval of the Longbow Unit!"
"Hehe, there's no approval!" Li Sheng held his saber and sneered.
Zhao Kun's face turned ugly. "Then whose orders are you following?"
Li Sheng laughed sinisterly. "I'm not afraid to tell you the truth. The Bamboo Sword Sect has been eyeing this land for a long time. If you know what's good for you, hand it over obediently. Otherwise, you'll have to bear the consequences!"
"Bamboo Sword Sect?"
Zhao Kun's face changed. He instantly realized that this matter was troublesome!
Just the Bamboo Sword Sect alone was not something that the River Sect could contend with. Furthermore, the Longbow Unit was also involved. According to rumors, even the number one hedonistic son of the Longbow Unit, Xue Yuanchong, was a disciple of the Bamboo Sword Sect.
Not only him, but the surrounding River Sect members could not help but look at each other with ugly expressions. Some of them even felt that things were not going well and quietly wanted to retreat.
"So? Are you leaving or not? "Li Sheng sneered.
"Sir Li, is there any room for negotiation?"
Zhao Kun thought for a moment before taking two steps forward. He took out a bag of vitality stones from his ring and threw it to Li Sheng.
Li Sheng took it and weighed it. There were about a hundred vitality stones, which was not a small amount.
However, he unceremoniously stuffed the vitality stones into his clothes and shook his head. "Sorry, this matter is not negotiable. If anyone dares to stay within an hour, they'll all die!"
"You!"
Zhao Kun's face was filled with anger. This Li Sheng was too much!
A sect member came forward and whispered, "Brother Kun, a wise man knows better than to fight when the odds are against him. Why don't we retreat first? The Longbow Unit has always killed people without batting an eye."
As the saying goes, civilians do not fight with officials. Even martial artists who lived on the edge of their blades were wary of the Longbow Unit.
Zhao Kun could not help but hesitate for a moment.
However, in the next moment, he remembered Lin Xuan's instructions and his eyes instantly became firm.
If he could not even handle this matter well, how could he talk about opening up a path for his master and eliminating enemies?
